Topic: What are the actual dates For NPS? (Read 3094 times)

Just wondering when are the actual dates for NPS because BNV is august 7th -11th this year in chicago. That may clash with NPS and just wanted to know. Mike Guinn DFW Youth Slams and Fort Worth Slams....

I apologize for spreading rumors, that is why I said," I think its the 5th through the 10th", because I was under the impression that Nationals always begun the 1st Monday of the month through Saturday because some poets on teams are students and teachers and need to get back to prepare for school, to my understanding most schools across the country (not all) begin classes the 2nd and 3rd week of August.

The Award Winning Dwn Town Poetry Krewe "Home of the Red Beans & Write Poetry Slam Team takes place the last Saturday of the month!@ The AOC Community Media Room 101 Jefferson Street, Suite 100, Lafayette, LA 70501. DwnTownpoetry@gmail.com

Guys! Yes, we are aware of the conflict with BNV: they actually reached out to us directly, which is really cool. I also am aware that we traditionally run NPS in the first full week of August, in part because of conflicts for teachers; in the past, however, there has been a little flexibility in the tournament and we did run in the second full week of August back in 2011.

The dates of NPS are almost always contingent upon when a Finals venue will book us, and 2013 will be no different. We are working hard to secure an excellent Finals venue for NPS 2013, but we just aren't comfortable posting official dates until we are sure our venue is ready to contract.

My apologies for the delay, folks. Thanks again for being patient, and for keeping me informed about important conflicts!
